Quiet Quitting or Setting Boundaries? Navigating the Changing Workplace Dynamics

The Rise of “Quiet Quitting“: Understanding the Shift

The phrase “quiet quitting” has taken the internet by storm, sparking countless debates about work-life balance, employee expectations, and the evolving definition of a “good” employee. But is it truly a new phenomenon, or are we simply putting a trendy label on the age-old act of setting boundaries?

The Changing Landscape of Work

The rise of remote work, the gig economy, and the ever-increasing demands of a digitally connected world have blurred the lines between our professional and personal lives. Employees are feeling increasingly pressured to be “always on,” leading to burnout, disengagement, and a reevaluation of priorities. Enter “quiet quitting,” a term often (though not always accurately) used to describe employees doing the bare minimum required of them, no more, no less.
